After Daoist Pingyang left, Lin Yuan returned to his own Taoist courtyard.

"Sword Tomb." Lin Yuan contemplated in his heart.

The Sword Tomb of Mount Long is the place where the swords of the predecessors of the Tian Shi Sect are stored. The Tian Shi Sect, devoted to the worship of the True Martial Emperor, excelled in swordsmanship, with the 'True Martial Seven-Segment Sword' being the strongest sword technique of the time.

"If I remember correctly."

"The location of the Sword Tomb should be one of those places."

Lin Yuan's mind stirred. The so-called 'those places' naturally referred to the locations with an aura surpassing the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. It was also something that made Lin Yuan quite apprehensive.

"As the boat reaches the bridgehead."

"We'll know in half a month."

Lin Yuan settled his mind and closed his eyes to begin cultivation.

At the summit of Mount Long.

True Martial Hall.

The head of the Tian Shi Sect, Azure Daoist Cangqing, raised his hands, looking up at the towering 'True Martial Statue' in front of him.

"Half a month later is the Sword Tomb expedition."

"I wonder if the disciples of our Tian Shi Sect in this generation will be chosen by the True Martial Sword."

Azure Daoist Cangqing sighed.

The Sword Tomb of Mount Long contains countless swords. Among them are the swords of the disciples of the Tian Shi Sect from various generations, the swords of the True Martial Hall Masters, and even the swords of the thirty-six Celestial Master. Of course, there was the most important 'True Martial Sword.'

It is said that the True Martial Sword originally belonged to the first-generation Celestial Master, related to the worship of the True Martial Emperor. Only those chosen by the True Martial Sword could take that step and become the new Celestial Master of the Tian Shi Sect.

Five hundred years.

Twenty-five Sword Tomb expeditions.

No disciple of the Tian Shi Sect has been chosen by the True Martial Sword again.

As a result, the position of Celestial Master has been vacant for five hundred years.

Although the Tian Shi Sect is still the ancestral land of the Dao Sect, no one dares to underestimate it, but in terms of high-end combat power, it is still somewhat lacking. Over the past few decades, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect has made a comeback, causing countless killings.

If the Tian Shi Sect had a Celestial Master sitting in, would the Ten Thousand Demon Sect have the audacity?

"Master, don't worry."

A plump Taoist priest beside him spoke.

This plump Taoist priest seemed to have no aura at all, but he was one of the three Celestial Phenomenon experts in the Tian Shi Sect.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

On this day, Lin Yuan had just walked out of his courtyard, and a Taoist priest from the top of the mountain hurried over.

"All Taoist children under the age of twenty, follow me."

This Taoist priest looked to be in his thirties, but he was already a fourth-grade expert.

"Is it time for the Sword Tomb expedition?"

Lin Yuan's heart stirred, obediently standing in place according to the Taoist priest's instructions.

Soon.

All the Taoist children in this courtyard who met the requirements gathered together.

Lin Yuan took a rough look, and there were probably more than a hundred of them.

"Follow me."

"Don't fall behind, don't run around."

Seeing this, the Taoist priest immediately spoke.

In his voice, there were faintly hidden sound waves of martial arts. All Taoist children only felt a buzzing in their ears and didn't dare to be unruly.

After a small half-day.

Under the guidance of the Taoist priest, Lin Yuan and many Taoist children arrived at a valley behind Mount Long. Many other Taoist children from the other seven Taoist courtyards had already gathered here.

"So many people." Beside Lin Yuan, a small and thin Taoist child couldn't help but exclaim.

"Senior Shanfeng, why did the Taoists bring us here?" The small Taoist child named Qingping approached Lin Yuan and whispered.

"I don't know." Lin Yuan shook his head.

Qingping had a good relationship with Lin Yuan, and in a sense, he regarded Lin Yuan with great respect. Due to the influence of Daoist Longqing, Lin Yuan had some background as a "second generation" in Mount Long and wouldn't be bullied. However, even in the ancestral land of the Dao Sect like Mount Long, there were still factions, and groups of Taoist children naturally formed small circles for mutual support.

After a considerable amount of time passed, a Taoist hurried over, carrying many booklets in his hands. He distributed the booklets to each Taoist child, and then the Taoist spoke, "The booklet contains a technique called 'Sword Intent Sensing Technique.' Everyone should start practicing according to this method and then enter the Sword Tomb one by one. During the process, maintain the Sensing Heart Method continuously and find a suitable sword in the Sword Tomb."

After a quick explanation, the Taoist repeated it several times, confirming that all Taoist children understood before going elsewhere.

"This Sword Intent Sensing Technique is so difficult." Qingping complained as he flipped through the booklet.

Other Taoist children were also struggling to understand.

"Sword Intent Sensing Technique?" Lin Yuan unfolded the booklet and quickly browsed through it.

[You have Unrivaled Insight. Read 'Sword Intent Sensing Technique' and comprehend the 'Supreme Sword Command Sensing Technique']

In an instant, a large amount of spiritual light about swordsmanship and sword intent surged out. Even for Lin Yuan, who had already entered the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, it took nearly half an hour to absorb it all.

"This Sword Intent Sensing Technique..." Lin Yuan's heart was full of uncertainty.

After learning and elevating this Sensing Heart Method, Lin Yuan seemed to have a faint connection with the nearby Sword Tomb.

On top of the Sword Tomb.

A high platform.

Three figures sat there, looking down at the Sword Tomb below. The leader of the trio was Azure Daoist Cangqing, the current head of the Tian Shi Sect. In an era without the emergence of a Celestial Master, the head of the sect took control of the entire Tian Shi Sect.

The other two were the messy-looking Daoist Pingyang on the left and the plump Daoist on the right. These three figures were the current grandmasters in the Tian Shi Sect, all at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

"The Sword Tomb expedition..."

"It is the key to the birth of a Celestial Master in our Tian Shi Sect."

"I hope this time won't disappoint us." Daoist Pingyang muttered to himself.

From his perspective, he could clearly see everything in the Sword Tomb below.

"In the Sword Tomb, it's not just about selecting swords; it's also about swords selecting people."

"The swords that can be placed in the Sword Tomb all contain sword intent."

"As long as you cultivate the 'Sword Intent Sensing Technique' to a certain level, you can sense many sword intents and have a chance to choose the swords of the previous Celestial Master."

The plump Daoist spoke.

As for why the Taoist children were not instructed to practice the "Sword Intent Sensing Technique" in advance, this technique served as both a sensing method and a measurement of one's innate aptitude. Those who could elevate the "Sword Intent Sensing Technique" to a preliminary level in just a few hours undoubtedly possessed extraordinary aptitude in swordsmanship. The sword they ultimately chose would reflect their true skill.

Moreover, if one's innate aptitude in swordsmanship was lacking, even spending ten years practicing the "Sword Intent Sensing Technique" might not lead to its mastery.

As for reaching the level of perfection in the "Sword Intent Sensing Technique," it had been a long time since anyone in the Tian Shi Sect achieved it. This was something that only the seeds of the Celestial Master generation had a chance to accomplish, as they might be sensed by the revered "True Martial Sword."

Half a day later, as the Taoist children below successively entered the Sword Tomb and selected suitable swords, the three Celestial Phenomenon Realm masters observing from the high platform gradually smiled.

Up to that point, four Taoist children had chosen the swords of past Celestial Master, indicating their potential to step into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Another thirty-one had chosen the swords of past sect leaders, ensuring their advancement to at least the first realm, even if they did not reach the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

This scene brought great satisfaction to Azure Daoist Cangqing. Although he had hoped for a Taoist child to be chosen by the revered "True Martial Sword," such expectations were elusive. For five hundred years, no one had been sensed by that sword, so why would it happen this time? The current outcome, which focused on the birth of more Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts, was more in line with the actual situation in the Tian Shi Sect.

"No, no, no."

"These sword intents are too weak."

Inside the Sword Tomb, Lin Yuan was also selecting a sword. After elevating the "Sword Intent Sensing Technique" to the "Supreme Sword Command Sensing Technique," the 'sword intent' in the entire Sword Tomb appeared to Lin Yuan as if it were visible lines on the palm of his hand.

By slightly activating the "Supreme Sword Command Sensing Technique," Lin Yuan could sense countless swords sending out eager signals towards him. While these swords were extremely powerful for the Taoist children, Lin Yuan, already in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, found them unimpressive.

"There's a sword intent over there."

Following the sensing, Lin Yuan continuously moved towards the deeper parts of the Sword Tomb.

Almost simultaneously, on the high platform, the three Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts looked towards Lin Yuan.

"Who is this person? Instead of choosing a sword properly, why is he going deeper into the Sword Tomb?"

The plump Daoist frowned and spoke.

"Is it Shanfeng?"

Daoist Pingyang recognized Lin Yuan and also looked puzzled.

Although he had urged Lin Yuan to perform well, it didn't mean wandering around recklessly. Moreover, in the deeper parts of the Sword Tomb, the sword energy was rampant, and if the Taoist children rashly contacted it, it could lead to hidden dangers.

Seeing this, Azure Daoist Cangqing also showed a look of puzzlement.

"I will bring him back."

The plump Daoist was about to stop Lin Yuan from going further.

However, the next moment, Lin Yuan's expression became serious. He lifted his right hand and reached deep into a pile of swords.

"Come out!"

Lin Yuan activated the "Supreme Sword Command Sensing Technique" and slowly pulled out a worn-out sword with the characters 'True Martial' engraved on the front.

With Lin Yuan at the center, thousands of swords trembled simultaneously.

Many Taoist children knelt down towards the "True Martial Sword" in reverence.

Thirty-nine first-grade people of the Tian Shi Sect respectfully bowed to Lin Yuan.

Even Azure Daoist Cangqing, a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert and the current head of the sect, had tears streaming down his face.

After five hundred years, True Martial Sword had finally revealed itself.

Today, True Martial Sword had finally appeared before them.
